Grant Alert! The Erie Women's Fund is Accepting Applications
March 28, 2025
Do you have a bold, innovative idea that could make a real difference in the lives of women and families in Erie County? The Erie Women’s Fund (EWF) is seeking transformative proposals for projects that will drive meaningful change in our community.
Over the years, EWF has awarded over $1.3 million in funding, making a powerful impact across Erie County. Last year’s grant recipient, USCRI Erie, used the funds to support their vital work helping immigrant and refugee women and families thrive in Erie. Their success is a shining example of how EWF grants empower transformative change.
We are excited to support projects that will transform Erie’s communities and improve the lives of those who need it most. Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to make a difference. We’re offering a $100,000 Major Grant to organizations that are ready to make a significant, measurable impact in one of these critical areas:
- Economic Stability
- Education Access and Quality
- Health Care Access and Quality
- Neighborhood and Built Environment
- Social and Community Context
This grant is designed to fund impactful projects that deliver tangible results within 12 months.
The 2025 grant application process is now open, and we want to hear from you. Submit your application by April 18 and include a 2–5-minute video that highlights your nonprofit and your project idea. The video should be informal and can be filmed on your smartphone.
